If I have the family folklore right, my parents originally named me Christian in a tentative stab at defiance of the family tradition; then changed me lebanese back to Frank when they chickened out. So here I am. This is a roundabout way of mentioning my website, which I haven't really told too many people about till now: frankportman.com. Because, you know, in for lebanese a penny, in for a pound. I'll have to get used to it some time. There's not a whole lot of content yet (and if you can think of anything lebanese that would be cool to put up there let me know.) At this point, the most interesting bit is on the index page after the "enter" page: if you click the appropriate link, you'll get a pop-up window with a random entry from the King Dork glossary. (This is an appendix that defines terms used in the book in the "voice" of Tom Henderson the narrator.) |

| I am named after my father, who was named after his father, who was also named after his father. The name of the first in that train of fathers was frank vincent actually Franz Portmann, but he Anglicized it during World War I, like many immigrants frank vincent with German surnames. (He was Swiss-German, by the way.) Lots of things would have been different in this world of ours if the United States had never entered World War I, among them the fact that my actual real name would frank vincent have probably ended up being Franz Portmann IV. Which would have looked pretty impressive on a book jacket, now that I think about it. Did I feel that my name had been spread a little thin by the time I came by it, that it wasn't truly mine? I'm nowhere near in touch with my feelings enough to be able answer that one. But I have always avoided it when I could, opting for the goofier, less sensible stage name in even the most inappropriate situations. (And lying about it when asked: for awhile there I engaged in a campaign of disinformation, giving out fake last names when I was asked in interviews, hoping to deflect attention from the real one: O'Hara, Rodriguez, Lebechevsky, Lego, Bucket, Window, Cup, Shoelace - you name it, I've claimed it as a surname. |
